Transatlantic EllaLink Cable Connection Complete!

After several years of planning, procurement, preparation, building, and most importantly collaboration, the BELLA Programme today sees an incredible milestone: the final splicing – and therefore completion of construction – of the  new 6,000 km EllaLink submarine cable connection that directly links Europe and Latin America. Work now begins to bring BELLA connectivity online, providing the high capacity and low latency necessary for data-intensive research and education use.

BELLA impact – Large data exchanges and high-capacity connectivity will enable the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to open a new window to the Universe (2)

Connectivity can be a major hurdle for global collaborative research organisations. Such initiatives are progressively taking centre stage as humanity seeks to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time and to answer questions about the universe.
